About me: My name is Betsi, but nobody really wants to hire "Betsi the Belly Dancer". Yes - that's right, Betsi with an "i". I changed the spelling when I was 11 because I loved Nikki Sixx... still do. I went through a string of goofy-ass dance names before I settled down with Bahaia. I pronouce it Ba-HEY-ya, but you are welcome to butcher the pronunciation so long as I don't have to hear your theory on my misspelling. I answer to just about anything that starts with a B. Please don't make me prove that to you.
So, should you call me Bahaia or Betsi? Well, let's keep it simple. If we have ever had a drink together and so long as that was not in an Arabic Nightclub or at a Belly Dance event or gig, you can call me Betsi. If you are one of my students, you can call me Betsi to my face but should call me Bahaia to everyone else. Everyone else should stick with Bahaia, or Mrs. Robins if you're nasty.
